i just changing my front preve tires to ecopia ep200
205/55/16

Im cant compare with neuton since never use it.but if comparing to previous standard preve tire which is gt radial champiro bax2 and falken ziex ze 912 195/55/15 that i use for my last gen2.handling feel lighter and noise level can feel reduce a lot.wet driving condition better than those too.but cornerning i feel this ep200 less grip than those 2 tire.

For cornerning my exp ziex ze 912 > champiro bax2 > ecopia ep200

Comfort wise ecopia ep200 > champiro bax2 > ziex ze 912.

Currently monitoring fuel consumption rate as i bought it mainly because of it.


Bought this ecopia ep200 205/55/16 for the price rm324/piece including alignment and balancing. Manufactured 1514 mean around april 2014 tire.the cheapest and the best tire shop so far i found in my life.

Wow.quite cheap.but where shop location?im at jitra kedah.izit near my place? Price include labor + alignment + valve balancing rm20?mean for each tire rm20?

I bought at lian soon enterprise tire shop at bandar darulaman jitra kedah.so far this shop is the cheapest and the best tire shop in this area if refer to their service done.until now im always satisfied with alignment + balancing they done. Unlike other shop like i just give them free money without doing what they hv suppose to do.expensive tire and expensive charge and balancing + alignement not good at all.


Just reading ur link.that shop at puchong lah bro.very far from my place.if u come here at kedah u will never found price like that.plus u will be more wow if u see other tire shop price.even most of tire shop at alor setar area which claim to have many selection will be much more pricey.just look at lowyat tire price list..

Ah ha.maybe next time i try timing for best time going there . Look at ur link.even the michelin tire price very cheap.rm400 for ps3..damn so nice la.

i dont know man.
i just comparing with ecopia ep200 vs 912 vs gt radial bax2. sime tyres never used it.
btw what model sime tyre? since i bought second hand gen2.

did u buy new 912 or used 912? with standard gen2 spec 195/55/15? and new tires? like what i done to my gen2. i change the tire on July 2010 and the 912 manufacturer date on 1010. mean about mac 2010. new tire made in thailand. and i only used the tire for about 1 and half year so far really serve me well. connering at genting and bkt beruntung never have problem with that.

but my review maybe inaccurate since now im comparing it with 205/55/16 tire which is used on my preve. probably the preve kerb weight and high ground clearance distributing to less grip feeling when taking corner too.

it is the best asking the same car owner with the same spec to share review. btw how fast u taking corner? plus u said ze 912 sidewall too soft. so far from all tire i ever use. 912 is the hardest sidewall. maybe it is me who rarely use many tire. hehe

i start using car from 2009.
the only tire i ever try are :

yokohama A drive (195/55/15 - for gen2)
Falken Ziex Ze 912 (195/55/15 -for gen2, 185/60/14 - for myvi extreme, 204/40/17 - for myvi extreme - after change rims to 17inch - CANNOT TAHAN THE NOISE than change back to original rims and NCT5 tires)
Goodyear NCT5 (175/65/14 -for myvi extreme)
GT Radial Champiro Bax2 (standard tyre comes with preve cfe)
Brigestone Ecopia EP200 (for preve cfe).

so i just comparing will all this brand and specs. most problably inaccurate since different specs and different car model will affect the results too ..right?

after a long journey from jitra to selangor last week.
i would conclude the ecopia ep200 tyre indeed saving my fuel a little bit,
bridgestone claim it can save up to 8%, but what im monitor my fuel maybe around 4% save. maybe due to several factors like weather during the journey and my rear tyres still using champiro bax2.

but for handling in wet road. definitely not suitable for spirited driver. last time i only use it in wet road in slow speed. so i feel this ep200 better than champiro bax2. but when i truely feel in highway. champiro bax2 give better grip in wet road when travel in more than 80km/h in wet road. i can see sometimes my preve esp turn on because of the wet road and feel not very good so i immediately slow the car.

the noise level is acceptable since most of the time i hearing the preve CVT humming louder than the tires.

definitely not suitable for spirited driver. and i myself maybe will change to other type of tire for the next time.
